Change User agent in Chrome


If you use Opera or Firefox,  you can easily change browser’s user agent. Opera has built-in feature for user agent spoofing, while Firefox users can install this add-on. Thankfully, Google Chrome also provides a way to change user agent.

To change user agent in Google Chrome, you need to add the following flag to Chrome launcher:

--user-agent="user agent here"

For example, you can change Chrome’s user agent to that of Android’s default browser by adding following command line flag: –user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-us; Nexus One Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1"
